I am taking a few days off from work to be able to work on the house and school and actually have managed to get a wee bit more sleep at night. I know it'll be short lived when its time to return to work, but I'm happy to catch up a little right... Read more

I want to be able to form a habit of getting more sleep at night. On average, I manage to get 5 -6 hours but I know I would benefit more if I could a get minimum of 7. My scheduled is jammed every moment of the day and I have tried to rearrange ... Read more

I had signed up last Tuesday for the January Jumpstart Challenge and have not been able to be consistent with the videos like I should. I have been tracking everything, eating well, and working out, so today I have made the decision to restart! ... Read more

I did it! I finally broke in my new running shoes! I ran 1.28 miles in 13 minutes. This, to me, is absolutely amazing! No sign of shin or knee pain as of yet so I was pumped when I got back home and re-did yesterday's boot camp video and the vid... Read more

One of my goals for this month was to be able to run a mile without stopping. I have not been able to even attempt to accomplish this yet this month because I hadn't been able to get my new running shoes yet. While it may sound like an excuse to... Read more

Only .2 loss this week and that's okay because I really didn't expect much more than that. I have not worked out as often as I usually do this week and have been focusing on school. I need to try to make myself go to bed earlier because I know t... Read more
